My Funeral
No, its not happening. Hopefully not for a while
The beeb has an article about people taking their mobiles to the grave with them. It quite interesting to see how we are reverting back to the Egyptian culture and western Europe up until the 1500's. We are getting buried with things that we like. Rather then spears, jewerly, or slaves, now its mobiles, laptops, and blackbarrys.
Now some of you know how i would like to be buried but I'm going to tell everyone so now everyone knows. First off i have to die. Then i want all my friends and families to get together in a forest. You then proceed to build a boat. A Viking boat to be exact. Should be longer then 15 feet with a width of about 5 feet or whatever. You put me in the boat and give me a sword and a shield. The boat will then be put out in the water and my friends and families will then shoot flaming arrows into the boat so it will soon start burning. Whatever you do not bury me in socks and shoes. I hate wearing them in life and don't really want to wear them in death either.

Ok, so we're in a forest, and I assume that's because you want us to cut down trees to make a boat. Which is really not very enviromentally sound. How about a well used rowboat, and if it's a little leaky that's ok, because it would probably burn up before it sank. Which brings me to the other issue: the water. You do envision some body of water in the middle of said forest, do you not? But I mean for this to be properly majestic and Viking-like, it really should be the open sea. So then we'd have to haul the danged boat out to the ocean. Or we could find a little pond in the forest, and give the boat a big push, and if you're lucky, the leaky rowboat won't get stuck in the muck before it reaches the other side.
Hee. I now picture a most amusing scenario of your bare toes hanging off the side of an old rowboat in a stanky pond somewhere. While on fire. With a sword. And shield. Heh.
